ABSTRACT
Julian Francis Abele’s rightful place at the apex of American beaux arts architects is not easily achieved despite a catalogue raisonné north of 200 buildings. He shunned personal aggrandizement wont to promote himself. He left behind no writings articulating his oeuvre as had Louis Henri Sullivan or John Merven Carreré. Julian Abele was the last and best of the American trained beaux arts architects.
